The Homeland Lies Behind Us; We Have Nowhere Left to Retreat!

That's how war is—the situation can change in an instant!

One second ago, Alvin seemed to have the upper hand, but in the next second he was in dire straits!

What came before was just minor skirmishes.

With both sides having revealed all their cards, whoever can hold on the longest will gain the upper hand and become the final weight on the scales!

The real battle has only just begun!

The legions positioned on the left and right flanks were overrun in an instant by the serious Genestealer!

The flank is in grave danger!

Viewed from the holographic map, the enemy forces entrenched on the left and right sides resemble giant "scissors" that are slowly closing in!

The Holy Terra Auxiliary Army is the only legion anchored at that crucial pass!

"Your His Highness Alvin, is the First Auxiliary Army entrusted to Char... really up to the task?" Vesa, the Heavenly Punishment Legion, asked with considerable concern.

This is the first time in a true sense that the Holy Terra Auxiliary Army has fought against these monsters and demons from the Warhammer Universe. No one knows how long that taut nerve can hold out!

Once it's cut off, it means the entire system collapses!

By then, even if Alvin possessed extraordinary abilities, it would be difficult for him to regroup the routed army.

Those who frequently command large-scale battles should know very well that once morale collapses, it is very difficult to rebuild, and the resulting chain reaction can even cause the entire front to collapse!

Just then, Char sent another message!

"Commander-in-Chief, the Holy Terra auxiliary forces have suffered heavy casualties, and the enemy's offensive on both flanks is fierce!"

Within just half an hour, the full-strength Holy Terra auxiliary army of 190,000 men received one bad news Second Company. Entire companies and platoons of soldiers were wiped out in less than half an hour after joining the battle!

This clearly shows how brutal the fighting on the front lines was!

But Alvin's heart was as hard as stone, his gaze icy as he stared at the filthy Char in the holographic image, and said, word by word, "I don't care about casualty figures. Even if you all perish, you'd better stay on the front lines!"

"But..."

Char felt sorry for him, but he was also helpless.

On the battlefield, everything is based on orders. Even if he believed that the Holy Terra auxiliary forces shouldn't be wasted like this, Alvin's orders were absolute, and no one dared to disobey them!

"No buts, listen to me clearly, Char!"

Alvin's forehead veins bulged, like a Lion suppressing its rage. His eyes flashed with a sharp light as he growled, "There will be wars far more brutal than this in the future. If you don't want our homeland to be invaded, then prove yourselves here, prove that I wasn't wrong."

"I don't need an army that can't fight tough battles!"

"Yes, Commander!"

The stern reprimand silenced Char, who hung up the call and, with his dusty face, dialed the entire army's communications system.

"Announce this to the entire army!"

We have nowhere to retreat!

"These man-eating monsters could invade our homes at any moment. To protect our families... for the Holy Terra Council Alliance!"

"No one is allowed to back down!"

"Our homes are right behind us; we have nowhere to retreat!"

Suddenly.

The speech in the announcement seemed to awaken the bloodline of their ancestors in some of the soldiers!

The confusion in their eyes gradually gave way to determination. As they gazed at the mutated monsters, they thought of their homeland behind them.

Yes, how could they allow such monsters to invade their homeland and spread the flames of war to the new world?

Suddenly, the Commissar, with a red ribbon tied around his right arm, glared at the monsters, took a deep breath, and seemed about to unleash a powerful shout from his chest, "For the motherland, Hurrah--!!!"

Listen, that is the call of our ancestors!

Once on Red Square, in the snow, the blood of our forefathers was poured into their chests by that shout, as if their hearts were pumped with power, allowing courage and blood to flow throughout their bodies!

"Hurrah!!!"

"Hurrah!"

The right wing, originally suppressed by the Siberia, suddenly unleashed astonishing power, like a final burst of energy before death!

Soldiers poured out of the trenches and began fighting the infected for positions, from a street to a building, and even every single house!

They seemed fearless; their crimson eyes were filled with boundless courage. Even surrounded by several infected and with their legs torn apart, they would muster their last bit of strength to pull the pin on High-explosive grenade and perish together with those damned monsters!

"Your His Highness Alvin, please allow us to engage in battle!"

It has been almost six hours since the start of the war, Punisher Legion has been pinned down here, making Vesa extremely anxious, so she pleaded with him to take command.

However, despite Vesa's request to fight, Alvin remained expressionless and unwavering, turning his gaze to the battlefield ahead and coldly stating, "The Punisher... do not move!"

He's gambling!

What should we bet on?

I'm betting that "Revered Ancestor Dragon" will sit idly by, and that they and Chaos will both be severely weakened, so they won't take advantage of the situation at this time!

In fact, with a careful analysis of the situation, it is not difficult to guess what all parties are thinking.

The Celerus Hive City is already completely under our control; it's only a matter of time before we seize it. As for the outer legions he leads, that's just a minor issue.

Haarken Worldclaimer and the Revered Ancestor Dragon, the Father, appear to be cooperating, but this cooperation only extends to the period before the Hive City is breached!

Once Celerus is breached, the two sides will turn against each other again due to their differing objectives, which is exactly the opportunity Alvin is looking for!

He has to... survive in the cracks!

Once you grasp this point, it's not hard to guess what both sides are thinking. If the Genestealer want to gain a significant advantage after the subsequent breach of the Hive City, they will inevitably stay here and watch them and Chaos wear each other down!

Because only when the two groups wear each other down until Chaos is powerless to fight for the Hive City, will it be in accordance with the wishes of "Revered Ancestor Dragon"!

But Vesa was unaware of this; on the holographic map, the blue representing their side was being rapidly engulfed by the infected, who represented the red!

"Your His Highness Alvin, they're about to collapse!" Vesa shouted anxiously, his heart pounding in his chest!

If their left and right flanks are breached, it means their entire army will be surrounded!

However, Alvin remained silent, sitting calmly and expressionlessly staring ahead.

If he loses the gamble, the Holy Terra auxiliary army he painstakingly assembled will be completely wiped out, and he... will bear the burden of hundreds of thousands of lives!

Perhaps someone will ask.

Why must we gamble?

Alvin's answer was that he had to take the gamble!

Not for short-term gains, but for ultimate victory!

To win this round, he must take a risky gamble, which is also the most dangerous part of the entire plan!

"Hold on...!"

He swallowed those words.

A massive update tomorrow! 10,000 words a day!
